Moyo is a Swahili word for “heart”.

Moyo Drums are made with heart, and soul...

The Moyo Drum by Visionhawk Music is a steel tongue drum with a magnificent chime tone. It sounds similar to the rare and expensive “hang” drum.  The Moyo Drum is made from a propane tank, what some are calling a “hank” drum.  These drums have pentatonic tuning, so all the notes go together.  No musical ability is needed to play and enjoy a Moyo Drum.  Your Moyo may be played with your hands or with mallets provided with the drum.

Each Moyo Drum Now available in 3 keys!
